Design & fit

6 items
Wearing style
In-ear, true wireless (ear tips in XS, S, M and L)

Two earbuds (one pair) with a charging case; the box lists ear tips in XS, S, M and L pairs, with M pre-installed. OnePlus says the four sizes ensure the best possible fit, and that fit quality varies with the shape and size of the listener's ears. The ear tip material is not stated.

Weight per earbud
5.28 g

Each earbud, as stated on the UK page for this UK SKU; the case weighs 50.57 g (total 61.13 g). The US page (US SKU 5481158571) states 5.29 g per earbud, 50.62 g case and 61.20 g total.

IP55 (earbuds only; excludes the charging case)

OnePlus: 'Excludes charging case.' Water and dust resistance may be reduced as the device ages; liquid and dust damage are not covered under warranty.

UK published case weight
50.57 g

UK: 50.57 g; US: 50.62 g. The selected SKU is UK; the source discrepancy is unexplained. Do not average the figures, assert physical equivalence across regions or interpret case weight as the earbuds-and-case total.

Connections & battery

10 items
Wired / wireless connections
Bluetooth 5.4 with Steady Connect; LHDC 5.0, AAC and SBC codecs; dual-device connection

The UK and US specification tables list Bluetooth 5.4 with Steady Connect. The overview Bluetooth 5.4 tile is captioned “When paired with the OnePlus 12 or OnePlus 13 series phones”; preserve this published scope discrepancy without assuming all hosts gain Bluetooth 5.4 features. Steady Connect needs compatible OnePlus phones. Fast Pair is limited to OnePlus 6 series and later devices running Android 11 or later. Case charging is separate from audio.

2 sources
Battery life
Earbuds: 6 hours with adaptive ANC on, 10 hours with it off (AAC). With the case: 43 hours with ANC off (AAC). Using LHDC with ANC on: 5 hours earbuds, 21.5 hours with the case. With-case AAC/ANC-on duration is unresolved: specifications say 25.5 hours; overview says 25 hours.

OnePlus Test Laboratory claims at 50% volume and the stated codec/mode. Keep the agreeing figures positive. The conflicting playback claim with the case, AAC and ANC on is separately nullable; neither 25 nor 25.5 hours may establish a requirement match, runtime winner or upgrade gain. A 10-minute fast charge advertises up to 13 hours with earbuds and case. Talk time with AAC, ANC on and 50% volume is 4 hours for earbuds or 17 hours with the case.

USB Type-C

The source describes charging, not USB audio or data operation. Compatible charger power and a cable-audio mode are not established.

Source
Wireless case charging
Yes

Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging from compatible phones such as the OnePlus 12 are explicitly advertised. The pages do not name a wireless charging standard or prove every charger works.

Playback with case, AAC, ANC on
Conflicting sources

Conflicting exact manufacturer sources: the UK and US specifications state 25.5 hours; the UK overview and its footnote state 25 hours. Both say AAC, ANC on and 50% volume. Neither figure is selected as resolved. · Music playback with the case, AAC, ANC on and 50% volume. Manufacturer test claim; the exact sources disagree on this duration.

Audio specifications

9 items
Listed driver impedances
18 Ω ± 15%; 9 Ω ± 15%

The table gives two values but does not explicitly assign them to a named driver or a headphone input/load condition. Do not invent a woofer/tweeter assignment or amplifier compatibility result.

Source
Manufacturer sensitivity and reference
97 ± 3 dB at 1 kHz (Input: -10 dB IEC711)

Buds 4 names a 1 mW input but no frequency or test fixture. Buds Pro 3 names 1 kHz and the literal “Input: -10 dB IEC711” notation, without identifying that input in volts or milliwatts. These do not provide sensitivity on the same basis; do not convert or rank them.

Source
Drivers
Dual drivers: 11 mm woofer + 6 mm tweeter

Woofer: dual-magnet dynamic driver with a 30-layer ceramic-metal diaphragm; tweeter: planar voice coil with a flat diaphragm.

2 sources
DAC
Dual DACs: a dedicated DAC for each driver (11 mm woofer and 6 mm tweeter)Source
Spatial audio
Spatial audio rendering

The overview explicitly advertises on-device rendering for Android and iOS. Set through Earbuds Function on OnePlus phones running Android 11 or later, or through HeyMelody for other iOS/Android 7 or later users. The positive head-tracking claim has separate platform scope.

2 sources
Spatial audio head tracking
Yes

The overview explicitly advertises dynamic head tracking. Its note expressly supports spatial audio with head tracking through Earbuds Function on OnePlus phones running Android 11 or later. For other iOS/Android 7 or later users with HeyMelody, it only expressly says spatial audio; head-tracking support on those hosts remains unresolved.

2 sources
Unreferenced advertised sound pressure
98.5 dB

No frequency, input reference, weighting or explicit maximum label is supplied in this row. Do not reinterpret as maximum SPL or sensitivity.

Source
Manufacturer rated power
10 mW

The Audio table does not explicitly assign this rating to an individual driver or define a continuous/peak basis. No power-handling or sound-quality ranking is established.

Calls & noise control

4 items
Active noise cancellation
Yes

Real-time adaptive ANC advertised up to 50 dB, based on OnePlus Test Laboratory results. The overview’s 2× voice-cancellation claim compares with OnePlus Buds Pro 2, not Buds 4. The wind-fluctuation disclaimer is attached to AI noise-cancellation context; do not expand it into a newly measured ANC result. A 1-second long press toggles ANC.

2 sources
Microphone
Yes

3 mics + VPU (Voice Pick Up Bone Sensor) with the AI Clear Call algorithm; the overview labels them feed-forward, talk and feed-back mics. OnePlus does not state whether the count is per earbud.

2 sources
Bone-conduction voice pickup sensor
Yes

The exact table names VPU (Voice Pick Up Bone Sensor); overview describes capturing bone-conducted voice. This is a component claim, not independent call-quality proof.

2 sources
Manufacturer microphone sensitivity
-38 dBV/Pa

Buds4 gives no dBV/Pa reference; Pro3 explicitly gives dBV/Pa. These different bases cannot establish a microphone-performance difference.
